v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays the boot progress indicators (checkpoints), up to a maximum of 100, from
the system boot prior to the one in progress. This historical information can help to
diagnose system faults.
The progress indicators are displayed in two sections. Above the dashed line are the
progress indicators (latest) from the boot that produced the current sessions. Below
the dashed line are progress indicators (oldest) from the boot preceding the one that
produced the current sessions.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest). The
dashed line represents the point where the latest boot started.
v Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays error conditions detected by the service processor.
The time stamp in this error log is Coordinated Universal Time (CUT), also known as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). AIX error logs have additional information available
and are able to time stamp the errors with the local time. See page 68 for an
example of the error log.
v Read System POST Errors
Select this option to review the results of the POST (Power-On Self-Test). Your
system unit may be able to start in the presence of POST errors if there is sufficient
working system resources. If POST errors occur during start up, this error log, when
used with the diagnostics, helps to isolate faults. See page "System POST Errors" on
page 69 for an example of the POST error screen.
v Read NVRAM
Displays nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) contents.
v Read Service Processor Configuration
Displays current service processor configuration.
v View System Environmental Conditions
The service processor reads all environmental sensors and reports the results to the
user. Use this option when surveillance fails, because it allows the user to determine
the environmental conditions that may be related to the failure.
